Ok where is it here exactly I'll wait
https://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-of-the-third-committee-adoption-of-the-right-to-food-resolution/
tl;dr:
What obligation it can't both do nothing and create obligation which is it
"Not do anything useful" would be more accurate than "do nothing". But that's just my tl;dr.
I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:
I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel's contentions with UNRWA.
Keep waiting, reading useless and pointless UN resolutions is not a hobby I have. I'm not against the UN, I think it's a needed organization, but this kind of pointless resolutions only makes it look bad and only feeds anti-UN positions within its biggest sponsor and host: the US.
So good luck with pointless resolutions aimed at the guy paying for the circus..
